Standard Chartered Bank has implemented Euronet’s State-of-the-Art Payments Platform that would not only drive its extensive card management program but also its country-wide ATMs and CDMs. It will be the core processor in managing straight-through processing of transactions and customer onboarding for its revolutionary customer-centric digital program.
The solution incorporates the driving of the issuance and acquiring programs for all payment schemes, along with integration with the Fraud and AML monitoring systems. The implementation is being done keeping in view the latest security standards with dynamic key management, enhanced e-commerce transaction security checks, multi-factor authentication and TLS 1.2 which is spread across all internal Standard Chartered Systems and International Payment Scheme Gateways and is a first for VISA and MasterCard in Pakistan.
